Book on Leica Q?

Is there a book on the Q? When I bought my first Nikon DSLR, I bought a book which explained how to do everything in a second way from the original instruction manual  that was usually clearer, and also gave other tips which proved very useful. In any event, the fastest way to understand something is often to read about it from two different authors and perspectives.  I haven't seen anything like this for the Q. The manual that came with the Q is only so so. Now that some time is passed to let people get familiar with the details and bugs in the firmware(!),  I wish such a text existed. For sure, a lot of very useful info appears here in the forum but it  is scattered all over the place and not always accurate. To have it all organized in one place with a good index or searchable text would be something I would welcome.

It is highly doubtful that a book would appear dedicated to the Leica Q, unless written as a 'labour of love'. If this is your first digital Leica I would post your specific Q questions on the dedicated thread. There are plenty of generic books on digital photography; but they quickly go out of date. Alternatively, discuss your need with your local dealer who might identify another Leica expert among his clients who might be willing to connect you both. Some dealers do occasionally run half-day or full-day courses on the more complex models, bringing in appropriate experts. Meanwhile, do not write-off the dedicated forum, right here. You can always approach a member via private message.

 

P.S.  I should add that I do not own a Leica Q so cannot help specifically.
